Screw the COVID nazis.

Bullshit was tired 10 days into this mass deception theater.

COVID rocks! It has eliminated the flu. It has lowered heart attacks.

It is a miracle wonder cure.. In their pursuit to hype it and control, they've wrecked health data and causes of death. What medicine couldn't cure or change in decades, COVID did in one short year.

They will have some answering to do in the future when the public gets aware and sober.

There is a need for free speech.

1st Amendment protection in the States is followed by 2nd that says I have a weapon to force back when you take my right.

Note, the founders didn't put speech first and the gun right tenth.

That said, lots of stuff I am not fond of. Lots of content that doesn't interest me.

All that content if lawful (and very little isn't) has right to exist, especially on an open platform.

Moderating or curating the front side main view --- that typically is popularity based. I'd stick to that approach. Whatever people are upvoting and active commenting on rises to front.

If long term that is NSFW content and "hate" speech then might need to reconsider the approach.

Front page placement should be the best of. Nothing wrong with decent researched, breaking content, funny stuff, original content, etc. Just don't want NSFW, CP, gore, and overt ignorant hate stuff up front.

Hate speech I mean in truest form. Advocating harm to people because of their anything --- isn't good. Labeling whole race un-salvageable cause of pigment or origin, yeah, that's hate speech or at least on the fringe of it.

Rambler made a lot of good points, here are more.

Best bet is ignore VPS, and is a colocation site and a rented device, allowing a real HTTPS SSL domain cert to a specific IP, then protect from DDOS using a service. It mainly prevents your RAM from being probed by other OSes on a machine: 8 different cpu chip exploits in 3 years allowed ram reading on shared servers.

Use a colocation rack host in .ru or use one that is used by some of the following :

dailystormer.su
vnnforum.com
www.stormfront.org
www.whitedate.net
nationalvanguard.org
unz.com
davidduke.com
niggermania.co
ostarapublications.com
jihadwatch.org

use two colocation locations by two providers, that way if one is taken down, your site can continue until you find yet another backup alternative colocation site that rents cheap machines

To get a colocation site, you need a google mail sometimes, not a "garbage email", but to get a google email you must have a SMS burner cell phone purchased in cash and maintained for 6 dollars a month with 90 day pre pay cards.

You use the SMS not just for gmail, but to activate the zipcode field of the new fucked up VISA Vanilla 100 dollar and 50 and 25 dollar gift cards that in May 2020 started banning setting a zip code on the card without a SMS text to an american domiciled A-GPS located cell phone. You can skip the zipcode setting if using a visa gift for www.expressvpn.com... for now. Buy gift cards in cash at small convenience stores far from home using a covered up face of a buddy , walking to store the last 300 feet. Your buddy will have a different "walking gait" than you in forensic stored videos.

never ever travel in a car with burner near another turned on cell, never charge it ever at your home, only use it to feed money into, via 90 day refill cards) 15 miles from your home... most will never work more than 15 miles from point of purchase for feeding money (I mapped out a circular pattern on my most recent burner) . use the burner to respond to 5 minute timeout SMS, while sitting in car at mcdonalds not near you using wifi after making a cash burger purchase. mcdonalds wifi in many areas allows VPN connections, some block all https in 2016 but no longer in 2021.you might have to use a VPN tunneling app, but most real VPNs allow app-less raw true VPN setup using scripts or field entry. Never visit the same mcdonalds twice. You must make one phone call on a burner cell once per 90 days of the cell will die and you lose all your effort. Just call a information service line , listen for at least 10 seconds and hang up... once per 90 days... far from home... when feeding it a card. Sometimes you need to wait for money to appear over an hour, and some phones auto self "update" with spy software if left on more than 4 hours. Turn phone off immediately if not making a call, or waiting for a 5 minute delay SMS, or if waiting for new funds to appear on burner phone... KEEP IT OFF!!! Turning it on too long starts a mammoth remote series of Google Android complete firmware/OS/baseband updates to downgrade your phone/spydevice. NEVER USE the burner except to keep gmail alive, and to allow storage of phone VOICEMAILS. Sites that want a phone number get your burner number, and use a buddies voice to record a non-suspicious "leave a message for XXXX" greeting on your phone.

Absolute true fact : NO BURNER NEEDED and NO ZIPCODE NEEDED for 2021 and 2020 purchases of EXRPESSVPN. NO VISA ZIP CODE FIELD NEEDED for EXRPRESSVPN via VISA gift 100 dollar prepay, the best and most private and fastest VPN there is :

https://www.expressvpn.com/

I use three VPNs and I recommend that one for all stages of setting up your colocation server and domain registration.

Paypal will bounce a visa gift card funding if you use it to create a colocation payment in usa or a VOIP phone account in USA... paypay lets it go through, but them later via FBI policy rescinds it and cancels it on the VOIP or Colo host in 2021 and 2020. This is why yu cannot use paypal, even with a working burner phone and a working google mail.

Bitcoin is traceable and makes you look suspicious. Monero is not traceable but no one takes that.

WARNING!!! Sometimes a colocation large facility will pull just your machine for 18 minutes and image its storage device, looking for who knows what, and then lie about why just your machine had power pulled for 18 minutes! This happens to me even if I rent colocation in large BANKING FACILITIES!!!! (I usually rent space in buildings where multinational banks house their machines on all coasts) Somehow the most corrupt and shady colocation farms are the ones that house international bank computers.

Fortune 500 firms and banks avoid this by renting entire "locked cages", and requiring armed guards to babysit their field contractors when unlocking a locked cage. I only rent racks not cages of racks, so I sadly get my machines imaged by spooks. Storing your entire OS encrypted helps a bit. Renting a cage is actually not too expensive, but looks silly if you only use two racks in a whole height locked cage. Apple and other companies make/made servers that wipe all RAM if someone tries to cut a hole into a server lid to attach a bus probe vampire tap to a SATA or NVMe line, then shut down. In 2021, you would merely place two foreward and rearward facing cheap web cams, looking for frame-difference video movement, and a vibration sensor on a usb line, together as a logical sequence, to force a mayday outbound and a forced double-bus-fault instant reboot. Nothing in OSX/Linux/Windows can stop a double-bus-fault instant reboot. It cannot be delayed even one microsecond. The spooks pull your TCP/IP switch a minute prior to tampering with your machine, always, so you need a once every two minute special ping to a external watchdog service that sends you SMS/Email on the infiltrated machines behalf if not seen for XX minutes. I choose 5 minutes, with https two way non-faked payloads every 2 minutes, some colofacilities go 18 months between anomalies (chicago, germany, los angeles, but others drop every 6 months for entire multibackbone failures : UK, Atlanta, New York) No colocation goes over 18 months without a packet total drop, even if they all claim 2 weeks of autonomus zombie apocalypse diesel fuel. The root cause? ALWAYS A MINORITY HIRE IT VP. A Negro (atlanta, new york) or a muslim half wit (UK). The root cause of triple backbone failures at a massive building of thousands of machines is always a nigger minority hire. I spend a whole day researching after a city blackout to confirm. It is no consequence to me other than me having to re-image my machines for paranoia, because I have machines in 7 countries, and one retarded negro vice president of IT at a massive firm fucking up cannot make me suffer from Niggertopia.

NAME TO USE?

NAME? ADDRESS? use zaba search for a legit address and legit name of a generic famous last name 20 miles from you (https://www.zabasearch.com/), choose an apartment dweller. In USA case law, unless you are using a name for FRAUD of any form, it is not illegal yet in most states to misrepresent your identity. It it not illegal. visa gift cards goes through using ANY NAME YOU TYPE on any site. In the years prior to 2016 you had to type GIFT CARD RECIPIENT but no longer.

Thanks for addressing that.

It's great to hear that you too prefer "old reddit" layout. Maybe it is quicker and easier to start with the newer reddit style (?), but a change later or a toggle switch could really boost the utility for some. I ran into a group on one of the many reddit clones that preferred the new style, but it seems obvious that some of the larger subs with long discussion threads at reddit should have the old format.

What's the purpose of these?

You cannot guarantee this with a VPS, no matter what the provider says

You have a lot of attack vectors as a customer using a VPS.

Providers can really easily peek on what you do with stuff like OpenVZ virtualization.

So I'd avoid OpenVZ if privacy is necessity (it rocks for other stuff though).

KVM is likely what you will want to use.

Best to get ISO install of OS from legit distro. Pre bundled easy to install options providers have there for 1 click style installs should be avoided. Might find users in there already by default as backdoors (this just happened this week with OpenVZ template for Debian 10 - and from the official source allegedly - meaning many providers were backdoored).

You also want a provider who is accustomed to and appreciative of privacy conscious customers. Most providers want nothing to do with such. They are all about in creepy way often knowing their customers too well (but they never say to you that are profiling and spying on you).

For payment, shield yourself with prepaid cards (Visa, Mastercard, etc.).

Drop your personal details. Create a persona with info that checks out long before signing up. Give your little foot soldier their own Twitter and randomly pile stupidity in there. Create a free privacy email address just for this use.

Location is another thing. 5/19/14 eyes are to be avoided. However, there is legal nexus between any business doing biz anywhere and then also doing biz in one of those countries. Meaning the shop with 5 locations, one of which is private while 4 are in 5/9/14 countries has little to do but comply with 'authorities'.

Basically on provider side you end up dealing with either totally privacy focused companies or one of a handful of long time in the trench companies. Those companies can be good. But know you are moving into a sketchy neighborhood. If you are hosting legit content there, might be algorithmic bias and rank drop in search and other punishments from the corporate net controllers.

As far as naming a company, not endorsing anyone freely or otherwise. I have a few I have used for a decade plus. Emphasis on long term existence and durability of shops vs. cheap hobby hosts that come and go and are useless unless downloading piracy and bulk data and onto the next one quickly.

Storage - that's big deal with VPS. Make sure your OS is boot time encrypted so it's not simple to spin it up. LUKS is solution for this and baked into many OS installs today as option.

BUT! That's solution for boot. You need a second volume otherwise encrypted for your critical data. Isolation is a thing. Different crypto, different keys.

Providers that offer mapable storage - block or other forms of storage are good for your use. Confuses things a bit more and can bring those up and down often in short notice. So you decouple to some extent your vital stuff from the OS itself.

Lots to consider.

i mean the vps doesnt see wat i do

while I do support speaking your mind you do have to be careful tolerating the intolerant or the next thing you know you are the new daily stormer.

What specifically are you looking for?

Privacy in the registration process, privacy friendly VPS location(s)? Not many providers (willingly) allow you to sign up without non-identifiable information. Most of the "privacy web hosts" think that just allowing BitCoin as a payment option is somehow "privacy" but then ask you for your name, address, phone number, etc.

Find a server location outside of the 5/9/14 eyes ( https://restoreprivacy.com/5-eyes-9-eyes-14-eyes/ ) and a provider offering KVM or Xen based Virtual Servers (Though KVM is more popular nowadays). Don't use their premade Linux images, install your own ISO and VNC in and encrypt the disk via LUKS.

I plan on writing up a guide for /f/webguides eventually on installing Debian 10 on a VPS with LUKS disk encryption which will be the same process for virtually any KVM VPS provider. It's been on the to-do list with like 500 other items.

... unless you are using tor's transparent proxy feature.

tor browser is free too, you are the product. :^)

same, the mix is.... eh.

Thank you, Debian and contributors. I can't tell you how thankful I am for what you've given to the world!

Well, the entire school board resigned.

We need a lot more of this!

Hate to tell people in the States and Your-rope that many countries where zero f-cks given. People are to the point, blunt.

They are helpful too. Run that baby waa stuff and they'll give you a proper timeout in a safe space. Probably knock you out for good measure.

Women like this that is why we created clothing. Yuck.

That's severely cool.

Proper gun storage right there.

gorgeous!

Weird. Some folks were very vocal on both sides of the coin in private. Not so much in public.

Today the front page looks fine to me. Sometimes it gets a bit vile.

I think the solution moving forward is proper tagging of posts with [NSFW] which I can add to submission titles if users don't do it themselves. If any particular default forum is too heavily NSFW it may be removed as a default forum simply for the fact that newcomers to the site don't always want to be met with that, but they're free to seek it out or post it themselves.

Well, it's time to move the clock hands another second toward the zombie apocalypse.

I have no faith in Gab, but I am curious what would have been done to them by governments and supragovernmental authorities had they not taken steps to protect Musk's ransomware stocks.

Dude Chinese people are based as fuck. They're openly racist, lack self awareness and really have no concept of social norms. Ask a Europe "Who doesn't know how to queue in a line" and with no hesitation "Chinese" will be the answer.

Chinese citizens are good people with no tact living under a horrible government.

freer isnt free

Maybe something like each forum only can have a few of their posts per day appear on the front page? So even if someone creates 100 posts in A, forums B, C, D, E and F with about five posts per day would still be visible.

I'm mostly looking at https://ramble.pw/all/new so I don't care too much either way, other than being interested in optimizing the front page to attract more users.

And as a new user, it would probably be nice to easily see all the forums with some activity instead of just the most active ones. But even then, should there be a point where 5000 forums are active, you again will have a hard time figuring things out.

But for now that's my idea at balancing.

Maybe the front page should even show the few posts from each forum at random. So each time you reload the front page, you get something different, if there are enough posts in the pool. Prevents gaming the front page, too. At least to a degree.
